About Trudy

For the past 25 years, I have been a trainer, a coach, a manager, a consultant and a mentor to literally thousands of people on three continents. I have enjoyed helping them be more effective in their work and in their lives. Beginning with The Xerox Corporation and ending with Kaiser Permanente, it has been a wonderfully rewarding career in Leadership Development for which I am truly grateful.

As I near the end of my corporate career, I look forward to a new career of writing and speaking. I will be spending more time with my extended family of wonderful older women including my Arkansas aunt Bobbie and cousin Shirley, my sister Diann, and friends old and new. You can read about their lives, our adventures together and my move from busy corporate life to a gentler lifestyle by joining the conversation on our blog. Through this website, blog and my upcoming book, MAKE MOM HAPPY BY MAIL, my life goal is to bring joy into the lives of not only my own family but other wonderful women and men of the Greatest Generation.

Please send me your story of how you’ve made a loved one happy.

Be well and bring joy!
